Accenture veteran and internationally-recognized business process practitioner joins management team on Jan. 11
Oco, Inc., the leading software company providing on-demand data integration and business intelligence, announced the appointment of William C. Copacino to the position of president and chief executive officer.
Oco allows companies to integrate and analyze data from all sources, providing a daily view of essential business information that enables better performance and smarter decisions. The fully-hosted offering speeds delivery and reduces technology and implementation risks and costs for clients. Oco commits to a fixed price and a fixed time frame and backs its work with a money-back guarantee.
"Bill Copacino, one of the most recognized business process consultants and practitioners in the world, will oversee Oco's revolutionary business intelligence service," said Oco's chairman, George O'Conor. "As one of the brightest minds in the industry and a proven leader and builder, he will help drive Oco's explosive growth as a next-generation business intelligence provider. I look forward to his insight and leadership."
Bruce M. Richardson, chief research officer at AMR Research, said: "Copacino comes to Oco with a background as a top leader of the largest systems integration and management consulting company in the world. I see his experience being very valuable as Oco continues working to map the business genome with on-demand data integration and analytics."
Mr. Copacino has previously served at Accenture (NYSE: ACN) as Group Chief Executive for Global Business Consulting, responsible for the consulting practices in areas such as business intelligence and supply chain management. He also served on Accenture's Management Committee and Executive Committee, which oversaw worldwide company operations.
Mr. Copacino also had been Chief Administrative Officer of C&S Wholesale Grocers, a $20 billion food distributor and the seventh-largest privately held company in the U.S.
"I have known for some time that businesses need to find a better way to access, integrate and utilize important enterprise data. By making this information more easily available to managers and employees, we unlock tremendous value," said Copacino. "However, traditional solutions are inadequate. They require the purchase and integration of three or four different software products. They are very expensive; they take eight to 12 months – or more – to get these capabilities in place; and they require a long, complex and risky systems integration effort. There had to be a better way."
"When I discovered Oco, I found a totally different approach that is an end run around the rest of the industry and dramatically reduces time, cost and risk. Oco's comprehensive solution can be in place in six weeks, at a fraction of the cost of traditional solutions and at dramatically reduced risk. Oco has an incredible value proposition for our customers. I am excited to become a part of something with such disruptive potential for how companies succeed and do business."
